Grand Stand Quiet Light 25 Vision 44 — Quiet Light VISION 44 — GRAND STAND ISSUE GRAND STAND GMHBA Stadium, Geelong QUIET LIGHT Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne VISION 44 CONTENTS GRAND STAND GMHBA Stadium, Kardinia Park, Geelong 03 Sport is the lifeblood of Australian life and culture. Its peak expression on the playing fields deserves comparable facilities to witness and experience brave, skilful deeds. What better way than through architecture and engineering to match on-field performance? The Sydney Olympics produced a fine ensemble of stadia and now the AFL’s Geelong Football Club has drawn together the resources to bring its home-ground Kardinia Park into this millennium with the addition of a new, feature-packed stadium. Viridian glazing plays a key role ensuring the full experience is won, not lost, on visitors. CLICK TO VISIT THE GMHBA STADIUM 3 QUIET LIGHT Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne 24 RMIT’s new ‘Academic Street’ is a project full of surprises. It links two unlikely buildings and in the process invents key spaces in a tour de force of educational possibilities. Re-working a forgettable 1960s grey box and notable Building 8 burlesque, five design practices teamed up to create an astonishing revamp. An ambitious glazing program with a suite of Viridian performance glass suffuses the work with remarkable qualities of daylight. Viewed in all directions, the results bring light deep into this special precinct as urban forest. CLICK TO VISIT THE RMIT ‘ACADEMIC STREET’ VISION 44 — GRAND STAND GRAND 5 GRAND STAND VISION 44 — GRAND STAND Geelong Football Club’s new grandstand is a best-on-ground design performance. It signals an entirely new fan experience, appearing light of weight and light-filled. Plenty aspire but few achieve the goal quite so successfully. Standout performances often belie seemingly modest numbers. While there are plenty of larger and more exotic stadia – Beijing Bird’s Nest and Munich’s Allianz Arena for instance – Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium could appear underwhelming, but it stands all lean, diamond-cut clarity. It’s a theme reflected throughout – from top to bottom, front to back. The new $91 million Brownlow Stand is quite unlike any other in the league. The fiercely proud and successful ‘Cats’ has been one of the stellar performers of the past decade, but was slipping behind in terms of ground facilities. Not to be caught napping, the club has been inventive and proactive behind the scenes of recent times. It has acquired one of the most interactive stadiums going and been visionary enough to support a design that feels as future-proof as possible. Designed by global sports architecture and design specialists Populous, the firm’s Brisbane office has guided a project responsive to place and need. The stadium’s vital statistics include a world first fan portal of around 45 sq.m and featuring Viridian custom laminate DecorFloor™ that overlooks the players’ warm-up area, an additional 6,500 seats, 4,700 sq.m high performance GFC Training Centre, a 1,000 seat function centre, 100 seat café with views to GFC warm up area, 12 new hospitality suites, specialist community rehabilitation – Barwon Health Sunrise Centre, two-level Cats supporters’ shop and new media facilities. 7 PROJECT The GMHBA Stadium, Kardinia Park, Geelong ARCHITECT & FIT-OUT Populous PRINCIPAL GLAZING Viridian PerformaTech™ PH08(60)Clr, DecorFloor™ & SuperClear™ TEXT, IMAGES & FILM Peter & Jenny Hyatt VISION 44 — GRAND STAND “ There are different levels, and glass is used widely with the balconies that connect with those key spaces for the pre-game drama and theatre as everyone arrives.” BRAYDEN GOODWIN, ARCHITECT 9 Rather than soaring blank walls, the architecture is much more gallery-like with break out spaces, high transparency and voids as light-catchers. The upshot of integrated facilities simply increases the ground’s relevance beyond AFL to soccer, cricket and a vast array of community groups with access to unrivalled facilities. The real light in which a stadium is held – and experienced – is determined by those qualities invested by clients, architects, engineers and the whole construction team. With an identity forged from intrinsic qualities rather than keen badging and branding, the new Brownlow Stand resonates with a job well done. A parasol or origami-like roof seemingly as light and translucent as the wings of a paper aeroplane, floats above ground with seating for 40,000 and body of a highly legible structure. Populous project architect Brayden Goodwin met with Vision’s Peter Hyatt to discuss the evolution of a stadium with a highlights reel all of its own: VISION There’s something theatrical about the big moment, the big event, the big entry and this stadium appears to build on that idea of how to build public expectation. BRAYDEN GOODWIN The stadium angles to the actual park to create an intuitive entry point with a drama that occurs with the stadium’s folding shapes. The other main items we’ve tried to connect are having multiple viewing platforms. Seeing people arrive, meeting friends means people are able to enjoy a different stadium experience. There are different levels, and glass is used widely with the balconies that connect with those key spaces for the pre-game drama and theatre as everyone arrives. How would you sum up the task at the outset? Creating a new experience for the Geelong Football Club and the broader Geelong community. It needed to be a landmark building, a statement and a centrepiece for their business as a football club and also running a stadium. The major ingredients were permeability between the parkland setting and pitch, community and fan engagement. Permeability was one of the real drivers. Connecting the park with the actual pitch was really, really important and you’ll see that on level two particularly, in the social club bars, there’s a connection to the Geelong Cricket Club Oval and also the adjacent park. Spacious multi-level reception area leads to upper level retail and venue/reception areas which include generous decks to embrace adjacent parkland. VISION 44 — GRAND STAND 11 “ It needed to be a landmark building, a statement and a centrepiece for their business as a football club and also running a stadium.” BRAYDEN GOODWIN, ARCHITECT VISION 44 — GRAND STAND Apart from funds, what did the client bring to this project? We had a diverse client group of multiple stakeholders, with multiple needs. Working through all the different items to be achieved was really, really important – and complicated. We’ve got a 5,000 sq.m football department which sits underneath the stand with all the broadcasting facilities on the upper levels as well. How we incorporated the needs of the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, the Geelong Football Club and Geelong Council as well as the State Government was integral to how this whole building works as one big core. Globalisation and technology tends to deliver architecture and design off the same production line. Do you guard against, or embrace that? What we’ve tried to achieve here is to embrace a generic approach for a portion of the building where that’s required. What’s really key in the buildings we design these days, is diversification. You need to have the diversification of offerings and that can be as simple as say, an outdoor area or a break-out space, which connects with the park, which provides some visual relief from the actual stadium itself. And then there are those unique offerings… We have the fan portal downstairs which is a glass floor of 45 sq.m. It overlooks the players’ warm up space. Being able to provide different experiences allows our clients to commercialise and monetise their buildings. That makes them obviously successful. From an architectural perspective, it makes them really interesting as well because we can provide tweaks and twists and changes throughout the entire building. Top A world-first fan portal through Viridian DecorFloor™ glazing gives fans a birds-eye view of players and coaches. Right A 1,000 seat function centre enjoys a sweeping vista of the ground. 13 “ Being able to provide different experiences allows our clients to commercialise and monetise their buildings... from an architectural perspective, it makes them really interesting as well...” BRAYDEN GOODWIN, ARCHITECT VISION 44 — GRAND STAND “ We constantly try to understand why people come to stadia and try to create these unique experiences which can be regionally specific. So there’s a lot of community engagement with the Geelong area which we’ve tried to bring into this building.” BRAYDEN GOODWIN, ARCHITECT 15 When you’re on a roll with stadia work around the world, how do you avoid slipping into a certain design comfort zone and produce simply more of what works? I think innovation is why people come to us. We try to create new experiences with everything we do. I wouldn’t say it’s a case of one-upmanship but we certainly spread our knowledge really well globally. We buy into a lot of the ideas that have been created in the UK and the US. For instance the fan portal was actually an idea that came from the States overlooking car racing tracks. We knowledge shared with our people over there and realised that what maybe wasn’t right for that particular application had another application where that could work really well. We constantly try to understand why people come to stadia and try to create these unique experiences which can be regionally specific. So there’s a lot of community engagement with the Geelong area which we’ve tried to bring into this building. You’ll notice that with the café downstairs we can engage with the community and make club members and those in surrounding areas really engage with the actual building.

    2 SEPTEMBER 2013 3 At time of writing, the footy season was approaching its climax as the finals began. On the ladder, the Geelong Cats had closed back to second behind the Hawks. Familiar territory for such a successful club – no change there. Written by John Boley ut for Geelong itself, change is very much in the air. Forever – and perhaps unfairly – associated solely Bwith the Ford auto plant there, the city, the surround- ing area and the local authorities are preparing for the jolt that Ford’s departure will bring and planning a variety of means to improve the lives of the local people. There is a considerable body of opinion to suggest that the ending of such a tight relationship between the city and the carmaker could be a springboard for Geelong to better things rather than a disaster and the City Council is certainly working hard in that direction. It owns and operates the stadium that is home to the Cats, and a major push is underway to extend the reach of this valuable facility and enhance its value to the community. In 1877, Geelong joined the Victorian Association as a Foun- dation Member. The team was known as ‘The Seagulls’ for years, then ‘The Pivotonians’ because Geelong was the pivot point for all railway and shipping for Ballarat and western district merchandise. Years of domination followed as from 1878 Geelong won seven VFA premierships in nine years. Corio Oval was the headquarters until 1940 when the ground was taken over for military training – so they moved again, this time to Kardinia Park in Moorabool Street.
